Re: Re: Webhosts: What are reasonable resource limits for Perl?

So I guess with those types of web hosts running a script that might exceed those limits (eg: newsletter mailer, http link checker, etc) just isn't an option?

Many ISPs distinguish (and put separate restrictions on) `cron` jobs. My ISP allows `cron` jobs for certain types of accounts, and recommends (or perhaps insists -- I'll need to check) that the jobs run `nice`'d. I do stuff like link checking and log analysis at `nice -20` at an off-hour.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
